About Me

I bought an older home that wasn't plumbed for the appliances found in most modern kitchens. I didn't have the water and drain lines that I needed for a dishwasher and I knew that I couldn't live without one. I didn't have the waterlines I needed for a refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser, but that I could probably live without. Then, I started thinking, why should I make sacrifices on the things that I genuinely wanted in my kitchen? This blog will show you what it takes to upgrade the plumbing in older homes to accommodate the appliances of today.

If you are planning a summer event and need to rent portable toilets, then here are some time-tested tips to help you with the process:

Tip: Rent the Right Type of Portable Restroom to Meet Your Event's Needs

There are two types of restrooms you can rent:

basic restrooms

deluxe restrooms

Basic toilets are equipped with just the essentials needed to suit their function, while deluxe restrooms offer extra comfort things like lights, mirrors, and washing stations.

When you rent your portable toilets, you should consider the visitors for your event and choose your restrooms based on their needs. For example, if you will have a lot of elderly attendees, then deluxe restrooms will be easier for them to use.

Tip: Rent Your Portable Toilets from a Rental Company Close to Your Event's Location

Since you will pay more to have your portable restrooms transported a long distance to their setup location, you should rent them from the rental company closest to your event's location. Searching around a bit for a close rental company will save you a significant amount of money.

Tip: Always Book Your Rented Toilets as Far in Advance as Possible

As soon as you know that you need to rent restrooms for your event, then you should call and make reservations. Especially during the busy summer months, there is a large need for restroom rentals and calling too late could leave you without the toilets you need!

Tip: Ask to Have Your Portable Restrooms Staked to Prevent Tipping Over

Since your rented portable toilets can tip over in a severe wind or when some bored teens decide to have some fun, you should request that they are staked to the ground. Staking your portable restrooms also makes them feel more stable for those who use them.

If your portable restroom happens to be tipped over, then you should contact the rental company so they can send out a new restroom and remove the contaminated one.

Tip: Choose a Convenient Drop-Off Location for Your Portable Toilet

Finally, it is important that you choose a convenient drop-off and set-up location for your rented portable toilets. Since the restrooms will arrive on a truck, the driver needs a drop-off area they can easily reach. Since the portable toilets need to sit flat on the ground, a parking lot or on another paved area are ideal locations to place your rented toilets.
